John Morris is back in the hack in search of Olympic gold.

That didn’t take long.

Just days after leaving the Alberta super-rink skipped by Edmonton’s Kevin Martin, Chestermere’s Morris has hooked up with a new team in the bid to reach the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.

Morris will join skip Jim Cotter and his Okanagan rink.

“I am extremely excited to be partnering up with Jim Cotter for an Olympic run next season,” Morris said Wednesday in a statement. “I have always had nothing but tons of respect for not only his shooting ability but also his attitude towards the game of curling.”

Just as he did with Martin, Morris becomes the third for the B.C. squad.
